Yes. I took my final dose of prednisone on January 31st. It has not been easy since then. I have gone through most of the post-prednisone withdrawal symptoms and am only now starting to feel better.

The main thing I’ve noticed recently is that my body seems to overreact to any normal pain. I had some dental work done and thought my jaw had been fractured. Follow-up with the dentist didn’t show anything unusual. I strained my meniscus and have struggled with extraordinary pain in my back, hips and quads since then. My doctor and my physical therapist don’t see anything unusual in my recovery. I’m hoping that this is just a phase.

Wow, I have a lot of info to gather on this prednisone, did not realize there are so many post symptoms. Not looking forward to any of these, but I’m determined to get off this drug.
